Amber's Recipe & Workout

All,

My favorite workout is running outside...however that isn't possible every day.  On the days that I work out at home I really like Jillian Michaels "30 shred" or her "Shred-it with Weights".  I always come away feeling stiff the next day...especially if I haven't done it for a while...makes me feel like I actually accomplished something. 

My recipe is:
Hamburger Chowder (tried to go for something a little different)
1 lb of lean ground beef
1 small can of tomato sauce (or bigger if you have a larger family)
sliced carrots (I usually use 4-5)
sliced celery (I use 3-4 stalks)
1 tsp. salt (or more...to taste)
potatoes (1 or 2 depending on size)
whole wheat pasta (I like to use penne or rotini)

Cook your hamburger.  Add can of tomato sauce, then use can and add for cans of water.  You can add more of each if you are feeding a lot of people.  Once you bring that to a boil, add salt, carrots, celery.  Cook for a few minutes, then add potatoes (cubed) and pasta (optional).  Just boil until all of the veggies are cooked through.  I also like to add pepper and other spices depending on my mood.  This is very nuke-able for leftovers too.

Thanks and good luck to everyone!
